Our Commitment to Giving Back and building our community.
Throughout our lives, from childhood to adulthood, the community is an essential part of everyday existence. Sometimes we don’t see or fully understand its impact, and sometimes we may think it is irrelevant. But in rural towns and inner cities, the community is vital in ways we can’t imagine; Whether providing volunteer care for the elderly and organizing medical outreach. It is the unpaid, unheralded helpers that underpin the fabric of society and make life easier for everyone around them.
No matter where you grew up, it is almost certain that, in some way, the community of friends and family around you contributed positively to your formative years. This is why it is important to return these favors and give back to those around us, even in small ways.
As part of our goals to give back to our community, Egbe Omo-Ife Chicago is embarking on a building project in Nigeria.
As an association and individuals, we believe it is essential to give back to our local community. Last year, we extended a helping hand to people affected by the coronavirus in our community in Ile-Ife, Osun State. Nigeria included doing things like providing foodstuff for the elderly and others.
This year, we want to do even more by building our guest house, a place where people can get together.
We will update you as we progress in the building project.
If you like to be part of this great project, you can donate, and we will appreciate it.
Thanks.
